The far left of the mural and it's subjects decided on, this portion of the mural showing Edmonton in the 1960's is sketched in.
Painting over hundreds of screw heads is part of the mural process, and why I always keep the unique paint colours of an art project until after it's complete.
Painting a few thousand figures in a crowd enjoying the Edmonton Folk Fest in this part of the mural. This section of the artwork has the most depth, with the towers of the Edmonton skyline giving way to the Alberta Legislature Building and the Fairmont Hotel Macdonald, which then brings in the Edmonton Folk Fest hill, and ultimately the Oilers in the foreground.
Beautiful natural light provided at the Alberta Ave art studio made for easy painting. I always paint top to bottom whenever possible, as paint tends to fall downwards. It's a bit of a relief to eventually paint the bottom sections.
Edmonton architecture changing hands; the Churchill Square bell tower in front of the current tallest building or tower in Edmonton, the Pearl
As I painted the Art Gallery of Alberta and Epcor tower into the mural I was reminded how far YEG architecture has come since I first arrived in 2005!
I am available for freelance. Can't wait for the next exciting project! Could be yours?
